Attacks on Jewish guests in German resorts have been resumed in a manner recalling the events of several years ago.
Berkum, the North Sea resort notorious for the anti-Semitic Borkum hymn, heads the list of anti-Jewish attacks. Hooligans marched to the tune of the Borkum hymn played by the local band, shouted “Juden heraus” and tore down the beach tents of Jewish guests. The public found amusement in this spectacle.
Similar occurrences took place at Zinnowitz, Brunshaupton and Koelpinsee, Ostsee resorts.
